In the driving seat - what you need to know to stay driving for longer

Series : Travel and lifestyle

Many people enjoy the freedom and independence that driving gives them, and they don't want to give it up. The entitlement to a driving licence expires at the age of 70, so an application needs to be made to the DVLA to renew it. Some medical conditions can affect driving ability, and they must be reported. This guide covers legal obligations, as well as information about declaring medical conditions, tips on ensuring someone drives safely, and adaptations that can help this. It also gives advice about how to decide when it's time to stop driving and find alternative ways to get out and about.
